Sweet, blue injectors make me feel good inside.
I was thinking about your part-out today.
Anything else new with the evo?

I am gonna try to keep that good old "factory seal" as long as I can, it worked pretty well for Hughes and Jim :D
Not a bad idea at all. My IX is now over 60k miles about 35k of which is with the FP4R's (stock springs, seals, etc.). I think a conservative rev-limit is what really saves the valve seals (fairly common weak-point of the 8/9 head). I set the rev-limiter to 7,600 when I installed those cams just to be on the safe side; the car did sit on that limiter quite a bit too during autocross when it didn't make sense to snap off another shift into 3rd.

haha, nope! Just been enjoying the hell out of a working vehicle!

I did get a CEL today though, gonna check that with EvoScan tomorrow with a buddy's laptop. ( I don't have one :( )

I'm calling it right now: Random misfire P0300!

Actually probably not since you have stock cams and injectors, but with these cars who knows :) Since it's so cold there it could be an overboost error if the boost limit table wasn't set to 319 across the board.

I already disabled that. It came on this morning when I started the car to let it warm up. I fired it up and it missed a bit, then when I came back out to move it, the CEL was on...:confused:

I forgot to save the ECU info to my desktop like I have in the past, so I'll just have to wait till I can pull it with the laptop tomorrow night. The car ran perfectly fine, so I'm not too concerned, just not really getting into the boost too much until I can read the code. I'm sure it's something small

I guess I forgot about this, it's new but meh, it's cosmetic haha

It's the black UK Evo badging with my own little touch to it. It was previously completely bare. Decided it needed a little something. EBay is great too cause some of these fools want like $100+ for the same kit I got for ~$25

Should look nice across the trunk from once of these eventually:

haven't bought it yet, I'll get to that once I'm tuned :) Not sure which one I want/which one would look better on the car

Hey where did you find those badges? I don't really like the colored ones.

Neither do I, that's why I was looking at these.

Let me know if you decide to get one though, we could just order two so we wouldn't have to pay shipping twice for such a small thing, cause I'm sure they'll want like $6.00 to ship the damn thing
